Whoa! Slow down. How accomplished are you as a photographer? Have you completed at least an associate program in photography? Have you worked as an assistant to a professional photographer? Have you mastered composition, light, f-stops, ISO and shutter speeds? Do you know every setting and feature on your camera and when and how to use them? Do you know when a scene will benefit from +1 EV? Or -1 EV? Buying an expensive camera and owning a dozen lenses and an impressive array of lighting equipment does NOT make you - or anyone else - a professional photographer. Giving a Stradivarius violin to someone untrained on the violin does not somehow magically transform them into a concert violinist. Giving every power tool made by Dewalt to an untrained person does not instantly make them a journeyman carpenter. I just sit and shake my head every time some variation of this question is asked. Seems as though anybody who owns a DSLR thinks they have become a professional photographer by virtue of their purchase.
